The Colt 1873 Single Action Army revolver was arguably the most popular selling pistol ever produced. The Colt single-actions were exported worldwide and manufactured in numerous calibers including .22 LR. The Colt SAA in .22 caliber was very popular due to the cheap price of ammunition and light recoil in a full sized revolver that looked exactly like the big Colt .45.
The lightweight Stallion comes chambered in not only .22 LR, but also .38 SP.
